My sexy new neighbor is a bear shifter with one claiming me as his mate. All I wanted was to run my flower shop in peace, maybe find a nice guy who wouldn't mind my curves, and eventually get that white picket fence I've dreamed about. Then Marc Steel moves in across the street, all brooding intensity and smoldering amber eyes that follow my every move. He's dangerous in a way I can't explain. Massive, scarred, with a darkness lurking beneath his surface. When he walks into my shop and buys my favorite flowers just to give them back to me, I know I'm in trouble. The way he looks at me like I'm something precious he wants to both protect and devour makes my heart race and my common sense fly out the window. But there's something wild about him, something not entirely human that both terrifies and thrills me. What will happen when I discover what he really is, and why he seems so obsessed with making me his? Claimed by the Grumpy Shifter is a short, sweet, and steamy small town instalove romance with a happy-ever-after. It can be read as a standalone or together with the rest of the books in the Curvy Wives of Cedar Falls series.
